This text provides an in-depth and comprehensive compendium on this dynamic field, addressing both the fundamental principles of ocular immunology and the whole host of viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infection and immune-mediated conditions that affect the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Part I addresses the basic principles of general and ophthalmic surgery, parts II and III cover clinical management of infections of the eye.

No one can write on thermodynamics without being deeply influenced by Willard Gibbs and Max Planck. The writings of the former will always be the admiration (and sometimes the despair) of the student of thermodynamics on account of the extreme rigor and completeness with which he discusses the subject, while Planck in his Lectures on Thermodynamics has given a treatment which is a model of conciseness, accuracy and logic. It has been my endeavor to write a book which, in addition to being accurate, logical and sufficiently rigorous, will furnish the student with numerous examples of the application of the principles of the science. It is with this object in view that four chapters have been devoted to the phase rule and its applications.

According to the point of view adopted in the following pages, thermodymamics is an empirical science, i.e., it is based on generalizations from experience which find their expression in the First and Second Laws. Hypothetical views as to the constitution of matter or the nature of heat are not used in the development of thermodynamic principles and hence these principles are as certain as the experimental facts on which they are based. It is of course possible to develop the subject on the basis of the kinetic theory, assuming heat to be the kinetic energy of molecules. This method has many advantages and may lead to a more intimate knowledge of nature than is gained when we refrain from such hypothetical aids. On the other hand, by developing thermodynamics empirically, we can be sure that all our results will be expressed in terms of quantities such as temperature, pressure, volume, etc., which can be determined directly by experiment. It is true that we shall frequently apply our empirical thermodynamic principles to problems which are set forth in the language of the molecular theory, as in the case of the study of ionic equilibrium.

This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics. Building up gently from a very low level, the authors provide a clear, systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra. The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability, optimisation and dynamics. The final two chapters are an introduction to the rigorous mathematical analysis used in graduate-level economics. The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving. All methods are illustrated by examples, exercises and problems selected from central areas of modern economic analysis. The book's careful arrangement in short chapters enables it to be used in a variety of course formats for students with or without prior knowledge of calculus, for reference and for self-study. This new fourth edition includes two chapters on probability theory, providing the essential mathematical background for upper-level courses on economic theory, econometrics and finance. Answers to all exercises and complete solutions to all problems are available online from a regularly updated website.

'In spite of the wide scope of this textbook, its presentation is clear and crisp. The materials are very carefully organised. The transition from mathematical principles to economic propositions is remarkably lucid throughout the book. If a first-year undergraduate student in economics comes to ask me which one, among many books on mathematics for economists, to buy for years to come, then I would definitely tell them that this is the one.' --Chiaki Hara, Institute of Economic Research, Kyoto University'This is a great text to learn from - the authors do an excellent job providing intuitive explanations, making connections between results and illustrating the use of mathematics in solving economics problems, and there is a host of solved exercises which perform two roles: providing essential practice material and introducing further applications in economics.' --Andrew Chesher, Director of The Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice, IFS and UCL
